The Full Timeline Of Winchester University, As Explained By Dear White People's Mystery Man

Netflix’s Dear White People season 2 had one doozy of an ending. The Netflix comedy’s sophomore year wrapped by revealing its mysterious narrator (Giancarlo Esposito) — the man who has been speaking to us fans, sight unseen, since the very beginning — is actually a real, live person. And, that person is seemingly a member of the Order Of X, the Winchester University secret society so powerful, they find the descriptor “the Black Illuminati” beneath them.

After finding out the all-knowing narrator is a member of the Order, and is seemingly about to indoctrinate heroes Samantha White (Logan Browning) and Lionel Higgins (DeRon Horton) into the group, his season-long explanation of Winchester's history takes on so much more weight.
